We had Body Heroes here are 13 MIND Heroes!!! Meet 13 Powerful Tech Women!

I have often ranted about the choice of role models young girls and women have today. Earlier this week I posted an entry about 6 year old Eden Wood the Kiddie Pageant Queen who is retiring from the circuit to become a pint sized superstar.Then there was Mila Kunis in her underwear on the cover of GQ bemoaning how some women in Hollywood use their sexuality to get roles and not their talent. Well I was so please to find this gem that restored my faith in the possibility that women are more then their breast, bums, and hair weaves, and that there are beautiful and intelligent women on the planet that are powerful and successful and keep their clothes on. (Lord don’t let me see one of these women on the cover of Maxim in a part of too small boy short leaning over a laptop!) check them out and be inspired! They create and manage things that you might use everyday!
